Mainly used the following alloys: ZAMAK 2, ZAMAK 3, ZAMAK 5; they combines a valid predisposition to galvanization, with an optimal workability for chip removal, which is necessary since the die casting productive process allows to realize more complex geometries, too.
| ZA2 | ZA3 | ZA5 |
|---|---|---|
| Better mechanical characteristics | Optimal corrosion resistance | Good mechanical characteristics |
| Subject to aging | High dimensional stability | High dimensional stability |
| Good for galvanisation process | Better impact resistance | Very high impact resistance |
